[Long-term effect of polyenic-fatty-acids-enriched diet on the relations of fatty acids and glycerophospholipids in 50- to 60-year-old HLP patients].

Seventy-seven patients (twenty-nine males and forty-eight females aged fifty to sixty) with primary HLP type IIa, IIb, IV were treated for eight months with polyenic fatty acids enriched metabolic basis diet. Gas chromatographic analyses of the fatty acid pattern of glycerophospholipids were carried out in 4-monthly intervals. It was found an increase of polyenic fatty acids and a decrease of saturated and monoenic fatty acids in all three types of HLP. Polyenic fatty acids enriched metabolic basis diet influences favourable atherogenic fatty acids constellations of the glycerophospholipids.
